Use of an impedance threshold device (ITD) during the performance of active compression decompression CPR (ACD-CPR)
"The ITD selectively prevents the influx of unnecessary respiratory gases into the patient during the chest wall recoil phase of CPR.~The ResQPump, a hand-held device containing a suction cup, attaches to the chest and actively compresses and actively re-expands the chest during the performance of CPR."
